Vision Service Ideas for Lions of 5M5

MISSION STATEMENT

Lions are known throughout the world for their work to improve the lives of the visually impaired and prevent avoidable blindness. LCIF proudly serves their continued efforts by offering unique and impactful initiatives, programs and grants. 


HERE ARE IDEAS IN ONE OF THE FIVE KEY AREAS OF SERVICE ON WAYS TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY:



  • Collect eyeglasses and donate to MN Lions Vision Foundation Trustee.


  •  Donate large print books to your local library. Put donation labels (Donated by the ____ Lions Club with the month and year) in large-print books that are donated to local libraries. (Check with libraries first to see what books they want to acquire.) 


  • Help make tactile baby blankets for babies who are blind or visually impaired, including those with multiple disabilities or deaf blindness.

                  Donate locally, if needed, or to Perkins International.   

 https://www.perkins.org/


  •  Construct a Sorry game for visually-impaired seniors at a nursing home.

  • Adapt Connect Four to be played by those who are visually-impaired at a nursing home: https://www.pathstoliteracy.org/strategies/adapting-connect-four-players-visual-impairments
  • Low vision kits - create kits for people who have been recently diagnosed as low vision or who are blind:

                        https://carroll.org/product/marinoff-low-vision-playing-cards/

                        https://carroll.org/product/bold-writer-low-vision-pens/

                        https://carroll.org/product/plastic-check-writing-guide/

                        https://carroll.org/product/2x-around-the-neck-magnifier-rectangular-5-5-x-4/

 These kits can be given to Lions members to begin with and then to people who are identified in the community.
